Notes

Vegetation qualifying for Grasshopper spawns

Short grass plants

Tall grass plants

• The chance for a Grasshopper to spawn is 1/100 when destroying short grass plants and 1/50 when destroying tall grass plants. It can only spawn if there are less than 4 other Grasshoppers currently nearby.

Trivia

• While they tend to hop away from the player during the day, Grasshoppers will start hopping towards them during the night, similarly to how slimes become unconditionally aggressive at night. This is because Grasshoppers use the same AI that slimes use. They still cannot hurt the player, however, because they do 0 damage.
  • Because they follow the Slime AI, they can float in water.
• In the  Old-gen console version, Grasshoppers are completely immune to damage from players.
